Book Overview
Eve Soumerai recounts her childhood as a Jewish girl growing up in Nazi Berlin, as a teenaged refugee in the United Kingdom, and later as a young adult searching for answers in postwar Germany. This first-person memoir helps students understand the Holocaust and its effects by chronicling the life of an individual who lived through it. Eve's story engages readers as she retells chapters of her life, including memories of a birthday party, Crystal Night, life in England, and losing family and friends. The historical context of the Holocaust and the author's life unifies and clarifies events.

A series foreword, timeline, glossary, and questions for discussion and reflection pertaining to each chapter are included.

a household must!!!!!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 14 years ago
This is a book that should be in all households. Why? Because not only do we learn about the Holocaust as experienced through a young girl but also the importance of the early loving memories which sustain her throughout her entire life and enable her to "spill goodness" into the lives of children of all ages and abilities. -Jana
